You just heard from the president , as israeli strikes continue, targeted strikes inside beirut, theyre bracing for potential retaliation from hezbollah, after waves of deadly attacks involving explosive devices, and the First Lady joins the president at the Cabinet Meeting this hour after my exclusive conversation with her on a range of topics, including her Husbands Decision to step aside from the president ial race. We havent had a chance to speak to you since he decided he would be stepping aside. Obviously a historic decision to hand the reins over. Are you at peace with his decision . Im totally at peace, and so is he. Lets get started. Good day to you, im Peter Alexander, in for my friend, Andrea Mitchell.

Violence not as a fire that needs to be put out and urgently but something to be fed and fueled. Apparently not satisfied with having disrupted life for thousands of his own constituents living and working in springfield, ohio, with his lies about haitian immigrants eating family pets, lies that have spurred dozens of Bomb Threats against elementary schools, middle schools, hospitals, municipal buildings, Jd Vance chose to fan those flames, laying blame for what is still an apparent Assassination Attempt on Donald Trump at the feet of democrats. Listen. You know the big difference between conservatives and liberal is that we No One has tried to kill Kamala Harris in the last couple months and two people now have tried to kill Donald Trump in the last couple months. I would say thats pretty strong evidence that the left needs to tone down their rhetoric and needs to cut this crap out. Somebodys going to get hurt by it, and its going to destroy this country.
